CAFE-HUNTING

This gorgeously whimsical shop is bound to put you in a good mood with its unique decor and colorful walls. Actually a shop by a French design company, La Marelle also doubles up as a perfect cafe hideout on the second floor along Baghdad St. For a hot bite, go for the stuffed croissant, and finish off with a cup of coffee and a Windowsill pie. *Not Halal-certified, but Halal supplier

I feel that this is the best place for desserts! Especially love their combinations of sweet and salted. What's better is that it's halal!

Known for their cakes and pies, The Royals Cafe has been around for a while now, and is a safe bet for affordable food that satisfies. Go for their most popular dish, Mee Siam, with fragrant hints of lemongrass, and lime that brightens it up. End off your meal with a slice of the Chocolate Truffle cake if you're feeling indulgent!

Beef patty loaded with lettuce, tomatoes, grilled cheese, caramelized onions served on a toasted buttered honey oat bun, with a choice of fries or onion rings.

You won't go wrong with their cherry pie and lemon-strawberry pies.

Hidden in the heartlands, this place serves a wide variety of unique ice cream flavors. Don't miss their crispy waffles too!

This is my go-to place for my waffles and magic fix.
